I never knew a school can be so unhealthy and so rigid and so mean and so damaging. I wish I can say the name so that no one will apply there ever.
All the teachers know what’s going on there. Why can they only admit it to some parents but not tell everyone.
They are ruining children all in the name of we need to make ourselves a great name. Banging head

We only care if you look the part. We don’t care about middos. Or yiddishkeit. All the moms are so proud they got in. Noooooo run away. Fast. Only send your kid if she will follow every school rule and never walk out of the box.
I’m so frustrated.
Obviously I can’t say more cuz I’m so grateful I got in and I have more daughters Can't Believe It

It doesn’t work like that in Lakewood. I wish. If I left she would probably be home for the rest of the year.

what do you mean? I'm oot, no family in lakewood so forgive my ignorance. but it's a huge community, I imagine there are dozens of schools for you to choose from. what's keeping you from taking her out for next semester, or at least for next year?

It’s a headache but it is possible to switch. In fact I have a feeling I know which school you’re talking about. I hate it too. And my daughter’s school has multiple girls who switched from that school.

Once she is in tenth grade I think it’s fine for a girl to dorm in a different community if necessary.
I have a rule. A child can have a tough year, sometimes that happens. After two tough years it’s probably time to switch schools.

I can't understand you.....trying not to be judgy but there must be options. even if it means dorming, bussing, moving.

Maybe the school wasn’t the right fit for ur family? High school in general is a tough transition from elementary. Give it time hopefully things will change. It’s normal for schools to have lots of rules. The teenage years are a turbulent time. Focus on the positives. Is ur daughter doing ok socially?
